Hello! I am looking for packets of similar difficulty to NAQT IS-A and IS questions. Now that the VHSL is using NAQT questions, I want my team to practice with material closer in difficulty to what they're seeing in our matches. The old HSAPQ questions seem to be a lot harder than these new NAQT ones. I'd get practice packets from NAQT, but we have no money that I know of. Thanks!

A-set questions are much shorter and directed at novices. The best free novice sets are the SCOP Novice sets.

In contrast, IS sets are considered to be regular difficulty. Almost all the sets listed here are regular difficulty, with the exception of the nationals set (NSC, NASAT), and those labeled as novice.

It is also important to note that due to the VHSL's unique format, none of these sets will be in the VHSL format. That being said, they remain great practice material and I encourage you to use them.

Thank you! I think the SCOP Novice sets are what I'm looking for, at least for the time being. According to NAQT's website, the IS-A questions are being used for regular-season district play, which is going on right now. Would you say the IS sets are closer in difficulty to the old VHSL HSAPQ sets?

Yes I would, especially as one moves up to higher levels (some of the regular season ones are definitely easier than IS difficulty, but some are not).
